Sup, iam Jessica Miller, Wishing you a productive day.
Oh man, this flu season is no joke! With the added threat of COVID-19, it’s more important than ever to take precautions and tell flu from COVID. It can be tricky to differentiate between the two, but with a few key signs you can stay ahead of the game.
How Do You Tell If I Have The Flu Or Covid? [Solved]
COVID-19 and the flu have a lot in common when it comes to symptoms. Y’know, fever, chills, cough, fatigue, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose - the usual suspects. Plus muscle pain or body aches and headaches. Oh yeah, and don’t forget vomiting or diarrhea. Ugh!
Symptoms: Flu and COVID-19 share many of the same symptoms, including fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, and fatigue.
Transmission: Both viruses are spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
Treatment: There is no specific treatment for either virus; however, antiviral medications may be prescribed to reduce the severity of flu symptoms.
Prevention: The best way to prevent both viruses is to practice good hygiene habits such as washing your hands often and avoiding close contact with people who are sick. Vaccines are also available for the flu but not yet for COVID-19.
Flu and COVID-19 are both contagious illnesses, but they’re not the same. Flu season usually starts in the fall and can last until spring, while COVID-19 is a newer virus that’s been around since late 2019. Both can cause similar symptoms like fever, cough, and fatigue, so it’s important to know how to tell them apart. The best way to do this is by getting tested for both viruses if you think you may have been exposed. That way you’ll know for sure which one you have and can take the necessary steps to protect yourself and others from getting sick.
